Ok first and foremost it was me that banned you. If i was wrong then i readily apologise but, it was not just the use of the word duburbo in both your posts which made it seem like spam advertising, it was also the use of language.
Check this quote and the use of English which sounds like a Spam Bot. If English is not your native tongue then thats understandable but this paragraph reads very badly:
And then compare it to this post which looks like it was written by a totally different person although i understand that is also you.
Now, as i said if i banned you when i shouldnt then i apologise but i did it because you sounded like a bot NOT because of the size of my dick so tone the attitude down.
You could have just asked "why the ban guys, im genuine" but you didnt.
Are we clear. An honest mistake does not mean you can give attitude.

You banned me before I could even post another thread about being genuine.
Anyways forget about it. that wasn't the reason I came to these boards, I just want to learn more about DJing and making music in general.
Coldfuzion thank you for the info, I just want to get a clear picture on how to make music and know all the history about it. I will check Youtube and other sites to fine tune my abilities.

To add to this post, I may sound stupid in my questioning this is because I have NO idea about this music, and once I signed up to the forums I got intimated by all you guys with years of experience, I loop cool beats on GarageBand which is probably like kindergarten level. This is why I started the post saying I was brand new because frankly I am brand new. My only equipment right now is a Macbook pro, and want to expand on it.
honestly mate I'm not gonna tell you what you should be using and what you shouldn't but I promise you that you're going to get very sick of DUBturbo very quickly, Quality costs money and from the looks of DUBturbo's site they don't have to quality to sell their product in a legitimate fashion. I believe your best bet is to save up some money or sell some stuff and buy an educational license for Logic Studio. Yea it might cost more than DUBturbo but you won't get sick of it. I can assume you think I'm a logic fanboy and will back it till death but I'm not I just know through using it and watching videos that the software is deep! the two big players in Electronic Music Production I find are Ableton Live and Logic Studio and both are as powerful as each other. There's no right and wrong in music production but all I can give you is my personal advice and oppinion.
Hittin' Switches For The Bitches
wongaling, thanks for the info also, sounds like I need to get Logic on my Mac. To save money I will stick with Garageband to start off because it looks like Logic is the same but to be a pro is moving to Logic.
Sorry, mate. I was wrong.
I'm not quite sure how your writing improved so much. But, yeah…in general, anything touting to be "the secret" for making music is either a scam or a marketing trick. And don't trust "pro audio" sites that use the same paywalls as porn sites.
Garage band is actually kinda cool…it's just limited. If I were you, I'd read about techniques and use it as best you can until you start finding things that you can't get it to do. When that happens, try to get your hands on as many demos as you can. IMHO, top 3 are Logic Studio, Pro Tools, and Ableton Live…not necessarily in that order.
Apart from that, audio.tutsplus.com has some good articles…and everything else is a matter of searching and surfing unless you actually want to go to school for audio engineering or music theory.
I was in your shoes not too long ago and basically spent two months+ just searching for every possible useful bit of information.
Some stuff that helped me:
http://dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=159713 (Dubstepforum production bible. Has a ton of info, related to dubstep but all production is somewhat related. Lots of useful bits here.)
youtube videos -- I enjoyed watching various Masterclass videos. Search for 'masterclass computer music' or 'future music' and go through some of the interviews with artists you like. Take note of what they use to make music. A lot of them really surprised me with how minimal there gear is.
I also watched a lot of dubspot videos on youtube. However they are likely more useful once you know what direction you want to go.
Search around there's tons of information to be had on all aspects of production/djing/whatever.
Reaper is worth checking out. Very well featured, stable and inexpensive ($60 for a non-commercial license) DAW for both PC and Mac. You can try it out completely unrestricted for 30 days. When it comes down to it though, whatever DAW you choose will only be limited by how much time you can spend learning it and your own imagination.
I'll second the mention of DSF's production bible. It's full of fantastic information that applies to whatever genre of music you want to produce, not just dubstep.
A MIDI keyboard is good for playing out your melodies. Get a DAW (Reaper is good, I personally use Ableton Live as it's intuitive for loops and samples). There's plenty of free VST instruments at KVR. Buy yourself a couple of issues of Computer Music and Future Music, try replicating the tutorials with the tools you have at hand. Read them from cover to cover. Basically, get involved. It takes 10,000 hours practice to become an expert in something.
